Yay!!! KITES!

Hi, Louise here today to share with you a card made with the Lawn Fawn Yay Kites stamps and die sets.  These are available now for pre-order over at Bizzy Bec's shop.

This was my first time actually using a stamp set with a matching die and it was pretty simple.

My only tip would be use washi tape to hold the dies in place when cutting.

I coloured my images with markers and foam mounted some of them against the base of the card.

For the hills at the bottom of the card I used Stitched Hillside Borders also by Lawn Fawn

Thanks for joining me today and I hope you enjoyed my first post as a member of the Design Team here at Bizzy Becs :)

Accordion Card

Hello Everyone visiting.  I thought I'd make an Accordion Card for today.

Using the Elizabeth Craft Design - Fancy Label

You can have as many sections as you like.  

I chose to have three sections today but it depends how much you have available to put in your card.

Front Panel

The stamp I chose I have had for many years. 

The flowers are from another die set....

Leane Creatief  Dies – Swirl Circle and Flowers

I snipped the flowers between each petal and worked each petal from behind with a stylist to stretch the card stock.  I sponged the tips of the petals and added the pearls and I was very happy with the end result.

The centre panel I used:

Joy Craft - Mug and Cup and Joy Craft - Tea Pot 

(though I think it looks more like a coffee pot, which suited my purpose)

I added some fun flock on top of each cup for foam.

The end panel I used the flowers again as done on the front.

The Cup Cake and candle are out of the Sizzix Step ups – Happy Birthday

Impression Obsessions – Greeting Set

Happy card making and creating everyone.

Don't forget to put a card on Bizzy Bec's Blog for the challenge of Anything Goes.
Blessings, Carol

Darkroom Door Photo Stamp - Surfboards

Hi there - Shaz here with another step by step :D

Another lovely red-etched rubber stamp by Darkroom Door - a photo collage - surfboards!

To the method ...

Stamp the lovely stamp in black Versafine ink and emboss with clear Embossing powder.

I had bought some lovely cheesecloth from Bec and wanted to use it with surfboard stamp, + the Dylusions teal spray, also perfect pearls spray. Has lovely sheen on this, just cant see it.

Here is the dyed cheesecloth (also used it as a stamp while it wet and juicy on some other card to right). It was too dark when done so I wrapped it up like a sausage and put a Rubber band down length of it, like we did for tie dyeing in the '70's. Then wet it all over again with water and took some of the colour out randomly with kitchen paper to get the mixed colour. Let it dry naturally.

Assembled card - Added some real sand from our beach, with some texture paste and masking tape.  Coloured the sky with DI ink and hand made cloud masks. Added the colour to sea with Versamark and Perfect Pearls, and also the surfboards. Turquoise card on left was coloured from cheesecloth stamps above and added some more colour after embossing piece, I added some more inks to highlight. Only needed a third of cheesecloth which was dyed, it was folded over three times. Happy Birthday was stamped in Versafine on cork, and clear embossed.

Loads of shimmer on this card....

Products used:

*Pre order Darkroom door photo stamp - Surfboards

*Pre order Black Versafine ink pad

*Pre order Embossing folder set of two by Sizzix gridlock and dot matrix

*Pre order Dylusions Calypso Teal spray.

Pre-order Texture paste (clear)

Thank you Tag....

Hi everyone, just popping in today to share with you a little Thank You tag I have made to go onto a gift that I am delivering on Tuesday.

I have used lots of different goodies to create the tag and I have listed below the items that can be preordered from Bizzy Becs online store.

First I applied Texture paste through my stencil Heartwood by  Memory Box then when it was dry I applied Tim Holtz Distress Ink Pads in Mustard Seed, Carved Pumpkin and Candied Apple.

Other elements used are Dressform Duo die from Die versions which together with the ribbon was an element from an old Card Kit from Bizzy Becs.

The gold heart  is a Sizzix Thinlit Die - Scribbles and Splat and the gold Thank You font is also from Sizzix  - Celebrate (this is not listed in store but if available can be ordered -  just email Bec) .

To finish off the tag I added lace, flower  and bling elements from Card Kit No 8 

Thanks for looking, have a fabulous week.

Until next time, Happy Crafting
